I did use the volumizer crystals on Halloween night but not in that video. Because it was so windy I can't attest to the effectiveness of them but for the indoor tests, it didn't seem needed. My best guess is they are rock salt. That's what they look like....and yes, taste like. Gutsy, aren't I?

If it is rock salt that confirms my thoughts on what they are supposed to do. Just like adding rock salt to the ice mixture when making ice cream, salt actually allows ice-water to be colder than it's normal 32 degrees. So, in theory, I'm guessing that it helps make the fog even colder, therefore, more ground hugging. Now, these are just guesses I'm making...not even sure it's 100% salt...could have some additional magic ingredients.

I bought the chiller from him. I've made my own in the past but I was darn curious to see what he had. Also, I was one of his first customers for the home version of the Fog Curtain and he and I talked at length about his ideas and asked me questions before he began testing the home version. The pro-haunts use the 5' version. This is a 3' version. So, I thought it would be better if I bought the whole tested system instead of piecemeal. Plus, he's a neat guy. I think of him as a fog nerd/doctor. He's really into it and in turn I became very excited to be one of the first ones to use it.

As for the rest of the questions, I hope you don't mind if I'm vague. Wil put a lot of work researching this and I don't want to spill his secrets. I would feel terrible about that. So, how 'bout I post some more pictures of the set-up and perhaps you could get a better idea of how it works, okay?

Thank you. Yes, we have a garage haunt and I have blog here where I try to keep all of my stuff organized: http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/terra/ I also have a YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Scarylad...s?feature=mhum but the blog usually always has the same videos. HalloweenForum is my home. I don't want to mess with my own website. Sounds like it could be a bit of a pain.

I'm getting more and more instructional videos up. I used to only do picture tutorials but videos allow much better visuals (of course) but you still need the pictures and some description so I'll probably always do a blend.

nm Terra, I seen you have all you vid and things within your forum profile, awesome! do you work with any haunts or do just for fun? After reading how you got started, I felt similiar in getting to utilize and challenge your skills everyday, nothing compares. Of course, my likeness started as a kid with building small HH in the basement... I can actually say my indulging back into halloween related things and find these forums is changing my life. We hope within 2years to open a commericial haunt so I've been religiously following everything on forums for the past year and half....

Sounds like we have a lot in common. When I found HalloweenForum I was blown away with the awesome ideas and terrific and helpful people here. Started doing tutorials as my way of giving back to the members. Now, I just have as much fun making the tuts as building props. This is all for fun and don't work for any haunts...just my own garage haunt.
